The Beach House

Product Information

Peter Mullen body was washed a shore on the beach outside the home of business tycoon Barry and Campion Neubauer, Memorial Day Weekend, in the Hamptons. After his brother is murdered by a rich and powerful family, main character James sets out to get revenge and uncover the truth after the family is able to convince the police that the death was a suicide. How Jack makes his case is not standard jurisprudence or even legaI, but the storyline is strong enough to carry the action.

Jack tries to uncover what really happened on the beach that night, only to confront a wall of silence; a barricade of shadowy people who protect the privileges of the multi-billionaire summer residents. This book made me feel that I was right in the setting and that I was a part of the character's lives. The second that Columbia law student Jack Mullen steps down from the train at East Hampton, he knows that something is very wrong. However, I consider popular fiction especially the current one, really thought-provoking; it is not just a story of revenge of the hero for his brother’s death, rather, the author painstakingly narrates the decay in the society, child abuse, pornography, drug abuse, the illicit relationship between the authorities (including judiciary and police) and the bourgeoisie.As Jack tries to uncover details of his brothers last night, he confronts a barricade of lawyers, police, and paid protectors who separate the multibillionaire summer residents from local workers like Peter. The backlash creates a determination to punish evil and the investigation continues as the balance swings back and forth between the bad guys and the good guys. I'll admit that at first I was drawn in by the lure of handsome young brothers in the Hamptons; one murdered, one seeking justice. But the majority of chapters in this story are no more than a page long, and there aren't that many suspenseful parts. Jack’s relentless crusade puts him into a head-on collision with one of the most powerful and ruthless men in New York, a man who wipes out resistance with a snap of his fingers.

Motivated by a hundred forms of grief, Jack rallies his hometown friends to help him find the truth of Peter’s death – no matter how rich or corrupt the people who stand in their way. It becomes a battle between the townies and the rich summer resident who appears to be implicated in the death. The Beach House* is an interesting story about how the court and the rich cornering a man when he'll have no choice but to fight back like a feral animal.Jack knows his brother and knows this couldn’t be an accident; someone must have wanted his brother dead. When a young parking attendent at a posh private party is found dead on the beach, there is a strong effort by powerful people to sweep everything under the rug. They feel genuine and realistic, and you almost instantly fear like the similar kind of injustice can happen to you. Jack’s mission is to right his brother’s name and legacy, get behind the police coverups, and to breakdown the barriers that millionaires and celebs seem to have in this town. The mounting evidence of ever more and ever worse skulduggery will pull Tempe deeper and deeper down what even she sees as a rabbit hole before she confronts a ringleader implicated in “Drugs.

Jack Mullen is in law school in New York City when the shocking news comes that his brother Peter has drowned in the ocean off East Hampton. While their relationship was supposed to be low-key and serve as a romantic relief from the complex plot lines, I found it extremely forced and platonic. I know it left me cheering along as Jack stuck it to those who had caused him and his family (among others) so much harm. A great book for those of you with an insatiable appetite for crime drama, with a good, if a bit trite, critique on the power of the rich.As he narrates, the reader grows closer and closer to him, almost to the point where we're so associated with James that we are as hard-pressed to uncover the truth as the characters in the story are.
